Fans of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce believe they spotted a “hickey” on the Chiefs star's neck at a recent game.
The couple's relationship has dominated headlines in recent months, with the pop star becoming a regular at his Chiefs games.
Kelce returned the favor by traveling to Buenos Aires to watch Swift perform one of her successful Eras Tour shows during his farewell week.
And eagle-eyed fans believe they noticed a hickey on Kelce's neck during the Chiefs' game against the Patriots earlier this month, with a red mark clearly visible on his neck in pictures and footage.
Swift was in attendance at the game at Gillette Stadium, sitting next to her father Scott and new girlfriend Brittany Mahomes.

Swift was at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Day to see her boyfriend in action
“Taylor gave Travis a hickey????” “Queennnnnn,” one fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Another wrote: “Wait, Taylor is giving Travis a smooch?!?”.
Sports TV host Pat McAfee made a light-hearted comment on his show Wednesday morning, saying, “It actually looked like he had a hickey right on his neck.”
“That made me think that he and Taylor were just having fun 'sucking neck.'
McAfee and his colleagues then hilariously heard one of them say, “I'm going to have his pulse checked, if you will.”
The couple is currently celebrating the holidays together. Swift was at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Day to watch Kelce and the Chiefs lose to the Raiders.
It is also believed that she will be in the stands on New Year's Eve to watch him play against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Kelce — and the Chiefs — battled the Raiders again on Christmas Day, throwing a tantrum at one point.
The tight end threw his helmet to the ground before jumping up and flying into the stands. He also had stern words with coach Andy Reid, who shoved Kelce to calm him down.

When Kelce spoke with his brother Jason about the incident on the latest episode of “New Heights,” he admitted that his antics didn't help the team.
“He (Coach Reid) looks out for me and I love him for it,” Kelce said.
“I didn’t go back out and play well. He wanted to see the fire in me and I reacted badly.
“He wanted to get the best out of me and I’m just not playing my best football at the moment.”
“I need to fucking lock myself in and take more responsibility for him and more responsibility for my teammates.”
“I have to keep my damn cool, because as the leader of this team, you don’t change momentum like that.”
The Chiefs were booed off the field at halftime – and it was anything but a merry Christmas for Arrowhead's fervent home support.
With one of their worst performances of the Patrick Mahomes era, they missed the chance to win the AFC West for the eighth straight year.
